The Ryder Cup is one of the most prestigious golf events there is. The Ryder Cup is played between the USA and the European countries every 2 years. It is a team competition where players compete in different formats to try to win points for their team. The Ryder Cup is where most legends make their names. In my opinion, winning a Ryder Cup is just as equally important and amazing then winning a major. The Ryder Cup brings out a new energy that regular golf events don't have . As the world’s leading golfers fight over a bonus pot of $35million in Atlanta weeks before the Ryder Cup ,they then contest for the Ryder Cup “for free,” with no prize-money or pay to compensate them for appearing in one of the world’s great sporting events. Players play in the Ryder Cup for the love of the game and their country. Its an event that is based on tradition and history, its the Meca of golf. People think that if players received money for playing in the Ryder Cup it would turn corrupted. Captains would pick players that didn't deserve to play and countries would be corrupt in the bid for where it is held. I think that it is fine at where its at. The event is in an amazing place and is only helping making the game grow. Having players compete for no money is the right thing to do as Olympians don't compete for money and I don't believe that Ryder Cup players should compete too.
